President Donald Trump has threatened to close the US border with Mexico next week, potentially disrupting billions of dollars in trade, if Mexico does not stop immigrants from reaching the United States.
Key points:
The US is experiencing a surge of asylum seekers from countries in Central American who travel through Mexico
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said closing the border would lead to commercial delays and longer wait times
Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard responded saying his country does not respond to threats
"We'll keep it closed for a long time. I'm not playing games. Mexico has to stop it," Mr Trump said on a visit to Florida.
Asked if he would close the Mexican border to all trade, Mr Trump told reporters "It could be to all trade".
Mr Trump has repeatedly vowed to close the US border with Mexico during his two years in office and has not followed through.
But this time the Government is struggling to deal with a surge of asylum seekers from countries in Central America who travel through Mexico.
Migrant caravans have been leaving El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to reach the United States.

Department of Homeland Security officials warned that traffic with Mexico could slow as the agency shifts 750 border personnel from ports of entry to help process asylum seekers who are turning up between official crossing points.
"Make no mistake: Americans may feel effects from this emergency," Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement.
Ms Nielsen said the personnel shift would lead to commercial delays and longer wait times at crossing points.
Ms Nielsen and other US officials say border patrol officers have been overwhelmed by a dramatic increase in asylum seekers, many of them children and families, fleeing violence and economic hardship in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.
Mexican migrants in limbo
Donald Trump's tough stance on illegal immigration has left thousands stranded in Tijuana.
March is on track for 100,000 border apprehensions, the highest monthly number in more than a decade, US Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said.
Some 90,000 will be able to remain in the United States while their asylum claims are processed, he said.
Mexico played down the possibility of a border shutdown.
"Mexico does not act on the basis of threats. We are a great neighbour," Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said on Twitter.
It is not clear how shutting down ports of entry would deter asylum seekers, as they are legally able to request help as soon as they set foot on US soil.
But a border shutdown would disrupt tourism and commerce between the United States and its third-largest trade partner, which totalled just over $US612 billion ($860 billion) last year, according to the US Census Bureau.
"We'd be looking at losses worth billions of dollars," said Kurt Honold, head of CCE, a business group in Tijuana, Mexico, in response to Trump's threat.
"It's obvious he's not measuring what he says."

I don't worship the whites at all but you have to admit that most of the progress the world has made in the last 300 years is thanks to the whites and for that I am truly grateful.
Ya me too. Btw it’s progress in the last six hundred years. Must start counting from Ming Dynasty when angmohs started to excel in using gunpowder and making cannons.
Ya angmohs are racist to Chinese especially those low class angmohs like Spanish and Australian all well known to be racists.Hope u dont join the rank of The Hypocrite, Sam and the rest of ceena who adore and worship the Whites. In the eye of the Whites no matter how white u are ur just a natah or மஞ்சள் in tamil.
But angmohs love indians as Indians like KT latha love to bully Chinese like me while sucking up to angmohs.
